A Toms River man who authorities say was driving more than 100 miles per hour, under the influence of drugs, and with a suspended license has been indicted in connection with a fatal crash that killed a 76-year-old resident earlier this year.

Jamie Doyle, 40, was indicted by an Ocean County Grand Jury on charges including Aggravated Manslaughter, Vehicular Homicide, Strict Liability Vehicular Homicide, and Operating a Motor Vehicle with a Suspended Driver’s License While Involved in a Crash Causing Death.

The charges stem from a January 23 crash at the intersection of Route 37 westbound and Romana Lane in Toms River that resulted in the death of Ronald Bucher, 76, of Toms River.

According to investigators, Doyle was driving a white Nissan Maxima westbound on Route 37 when he slammed into Bucher’s Chevrolet Trax as it crossed the highway from Romana Lane.

Authorities said witnesses reported Doyle had been driving erratically and ignoring multiple traffic signals before the crash.

Investigators later determined Doyle was traveling approximately 106 miles per hour just five seconds before impact and struck Bucher’s vehicle at approximately 65 miles per hour in a 50 MPH zone.

Officials said Doyle was also operating the vehicle with a suspended driver’s license at the time of the crash.

Responding officers reportedly observed Doyle displaying erratic behavior, irregular speech, and constricted pupils at the scene. A court-authorized blood draw later allegedly revealed the presence of Phencyclidine (PCP) and Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) in his bloodstream.

Bucher suffered catastrophic injuries in the collision and was pronounced deceased despite life-saving efforts.

Doyle was initially charged the night of the crash with multiple offenses, including Driving While Intoxicated, Reckless Driving, Careless Driving, and Driving While Suspended. Following further investigation, prosecutors upgraded the case to include Aggravated Manslaughter and Vehicular Homicide charges.

After being released from the hospital, Doyle was transported to the Ocean County Jail on January 30, where he has remained detained pending trial.
